D. Lesley Leslie is the author of many health and wellness books for children as well as the adult fiction novel, KAVLA. Born in England to South African parents, she was raised in Canada and now resides in the Middle East.

She has an open, honest outlook on life and considers herself a citizen of the world. She is equally as comfortable having dinner with political luminaries as she is sleeping under the stars in the desert. Her motto is a quote from John Wooden: 'Make each day your masterpiece', and truly she believes in living life to the fullest.

Although the adult and children's books are widely disparate in content, she loves the philosophical connection between herself and her readers, regardless of the demographic or subject matter. She welcomes all suggestions, comments and questions.
